That Chart Party did not feel 54 minutes long and the reveal at the end killed me. -- nm - Tim Feb 20, 11:42 1

      - Enough with the metric. -- nm - Spawn Feb 20, 12:17 1
        
        $900 to start on the cheap end -- nm - budice Feb 20, 12:21

        Yeah, okay, I'm the target audience for this one, but there aren't many of us who will want/need it. -- nm - David Feb 20, 12:27 2
        
        I use a bluetooth tether to link my tablet to phone LTE connection so I could see myself using this someday to dump having 2 devices. - Bacon Feb 20, 12:51 1
        
        I will say this though. Beware buying a first gen product like this. Spend 2k and find out the screen gets burn in on the crease or some crap - Bacon Feb 20, 12:55
        
        It would need to be at least 5x more amazing than that to be worth the price. -- nm - Spawn Feb 20, 12:14 1

- I've got AB for one more year in my Dynasty league. Hoping he ends up in San Fran. - Strongbad Feb 20, 10:29 3

  - Who's left to indict outside the family? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 20, 11:03 2
    - Well, yeah, but the Trump family are the biggest offenders here. If none of them get in legal trouble, it'll seem disappointing. -- nm - Inigo Feb 20, 11:12 1
      - But that's why I think their indictments are imminent to go in tandem with the release of the report. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 20, 11:43

  - RIP my premiums :) -- nm - oblique Feb 20, 10:28

- I made it 2 minutes into my first driver's ed drive before I was rear-ended. -- nm - Ender Feb 20, 10:21 2
  - but what about car accidents? -- nm - groiny Feb 20, 10:23
  - It could have been a lot worse and I'm certain she will learn from the experience both driving and - oblique Feb 20, 10:22
- glad she's ok. The battery will be the (expensive) issue - unless it was replaced already -- nm - decline Feb 20, 10:09 3
  - Yeah. There's a lot of interesting information online about it. Worst case I've seen is there is a place that will install a new battery for < $2k - oblique Feb 20, 10:10 2
    - on the other hand, my business partner has had one for over 12 years on the original battery -- nm - decline Feb 20, 10:12 1
      - Yeah. Seems like a crapshoot and also somewhat random and out of the blue. Carfax has some for around $5k with reasonable miles. But also could get - oblique Feb 20, 10:15

- Just get another wheel/rim? -- nm - budice Feb 20, 10:05 3
  - I think it's worse than that but we'll see what the shop says -- nm - oblique Feb 20, 10:07 2
    - Maybe steering/suspension like a tie-rod and whatnot. Dont give up -- nm - budice Feb 20, 10:10 1
      - I'm hoping for the best. That car has been through a lot including have a deer dropped on it (ok, I hit it but still) - oblique Feb 20, 10:11
- Older Prius batteries had 7 year shelf life. Has it been replaced already? -- nm - Bacon Feb 20, 10:03 1

In 103 meetings since 1976 between UNC and Duke, UNC leads 52 wins to 51 and Duke leads 7988 points to 7985. That's a rivalry. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 20, 09:57
Rewatchables has kind of lost it's way a little lately. But 'Dave' is this week, 'Reality Bites' next week and then 'Fletch' after that. - Volnelk Feb 20, 09:45 1
- 'Dave' is one of those movies I love whenever I watch it but never really think to watch -- nm - oblique Feb 20, 10:27
WWE: this past weeks Raw script was finished 30 minutes before air. Rollins has an L7 issue just need rest. -- nm - Remlik Feb 20, 09:44 11

- The idea that they blew Ricochet's debut on Lafayette, LA is still confusing. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 20, 09:46 9
  - I think the worst part is they managed to impact the Gargano / Ciampa saga with them just teaming as though all is good. - Will Hunting Feb 20, 10:11 2
    - It could have been done better, but Gargano is a heel now and Takeover ended with both of them holding up their titles. -- nm - Tim Feb 20, 12:27
    - they've been slightly teaming on NXT -- nm - Remlik Feb 20, 10:14
  - The worst part is that NXT is HHH's baby. He wasn't even told about it ahead of time. -- nm - David Feb 20, 09:47 5
    - Sunday night family dinners must be a real joy -- nm - decline Feb 20, 09:56 1
      - I think Vince is starting to suffer from dementia. - David Feb 20, 09:59
    - Sounds like they will be on all 3 shows through WM -- nm* - eag Feb 20, 09:50
